And that the BETA was really 4.x-CURRENT ? What happened > to CURRENT or has it been done away with? There is only one CURRENT and it has 5 for the leading digit. There are three RELENG branches (more or less) alive, RELENG_2, RELENG_3 and RELENG_4. RELENG branches cycle through STABLE -> BETA -> RELEASE -> STABLE ... BETA is the lockdown and test period prior to RELEASE when things are most stable. RELEASE is a point, and STABLE is the rest of the time. -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
